Item Description
A fine thumbnail tourmaline from the famous Little Three Mine and the Jaime Bird Collection. The lustrous and translucent, olive-green crystal has a striking, complex pinacoidal termination. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only very trivial edge and side wear. Little Three tourmalines of this size and quality are seldom on the market. 23 grams. Another label has a February, 1980 date on it.
